Pours out a nice mostly clear, attractive amber color with a small white head, with some lacing. Aroma is of citrus, floral and pine hops, toast, and a slight sweet earthy note. Taste is dry and crisp, packs much more flavor than anything I’ve ever had at 4.4%. Floral, citrus and grassy hops, sweet earth, toasted bread, caramel and a slight toffee note, finishes dry. Very solid, would make a great session...if only they kegged this and shipped it o NJ...

draft at Taco Mac, Cumming. Levitation is the best Amber Ale I’ve had, period. Stone delivers all the time - they are the top notch brewery in the US overall... pours a really deep amber, almost brown with a small off white head. good amount of hops with some sweet malt in the aroma. big hop presence through the mouth - I wouldn’t expect anything less from Stone... medium body, hops and sweet malt from top to bottom.... quality. Stone rocks! One of the best session beers, even at $10 a six pack.

Bottle. Amber pour. Tan head. Lots of hops and malt on the nose. Citrus hops stick out with a sticky amount of malt. Good caramel notes. Another quality stone brew.

12oz bottle from grape & gourmet. pours a very nice copper, garnet with a thin, white head a solid lacing. aroma is great with bright citrus hop notes of grapefruit and orange, pine, sweet caramel malt, and a hint of roasted nuts. flavor is very nice as well with bitter, citrus hops up front, sweet floral notes, pine, and a great balance of nutty, roasty, caramel malt with a bitter hop finish. palate is medium bodied and smooth with solid carbonation. overall, at 4%, this is a great session beer.

Pours orange-brown with a white head. Light and sweet aroma of malts and hops. Light-medium body with really nice hop flavor but not too much bitterness. Definitely one of the best session beers.
